FEAR, THE REGRETS OF YESTERDAY
It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.
FEAR, IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO FEAR THE PROSPECT OF FAILURE
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
It is an open question whether any behavior based on fear of eternal punishment can be regarded as ethical or should be regarded as merely cowardly.
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
